Another very wonderful volume that has me more and more pulled into this story!

I LOVED the beginning and cheering for Koyou and how she has found the muscle of brawn!!! LOL! I too had my doubts, Koyou, if you could find those muscles, but I think the muscles were definitely top-tier! LOL! Plus her reaction to said muscles made me laugh harder than it probably should have! LOL!

I really really love how she is growing as a doctor and asking herself questions based on how her patient reacted to her sharing how she could heal him. You can tell she was totally stumped and VERY confused as to why the person wasn't happy with saying how she could treat him. I hope we continue to see more of these moments where she is growing and thinking about her actions!

With Prince Keiun and everything that is happening, I was really shocked to see how bad the sickness is! It is ten times worse than anything I personally thought it might be, and I am hoping that there will be a cure that happens for and throughout the village.

It definitely feels like the Sect is not doing anything and nervous for the next volume because I have an idea that they'll let someone cure everyone and then take credit for it, saying it was something divine when it wasn't. Plus, it doesn't seem like they are doing ANYTHING. Yeah, someone could argue they are helping the people who are sick, but how come NO ONE has been cured?? I feel like that's super telling that something bad is happening behind the scenes and that someone WANTS it to stay that way…

Definitely another very very good volume and already looked up the release date of the next volume because I NEED more!!

Ich fand den Band wieder gut. Es war schön, dass es diesmal mehr um medizinische Themen ging und auch das Rätsel um die Epidemie in Ri und warum keine Hilfe angefordert wurde, ist wirklich interessant. Ich frage mich schon, was die Rad-Sekte ausheckt. Das einzige, was mich etwas stört, ist das mir die Rad-Sekte irgendwie so stereotypisch intrigant und böse rüberkommt und es schon deutlich ist, dass deren Anführer irgendwas von Koyo will. Das hätte ich mir etwas mysteriöser gewünscht. Koyo hingegen ist so exzentrisch wie eh und je, lernt aber auch immer mehr dazu. Keiun scheint jetzt aber auch in Schwierigkeiten zu stecken, daher erwarte ich schon den nächsten Band. Der Veröffentlichungsrhythmus bringt mich nur leider auch immer ein wenig aus der Story raus, was schade ist. Trotzdem gebe ich nicht auf, da sie mir an sich sehr gut gefällt.

My favorite volume in the series so far because the story arc of the characters is moving forward. Overall, this series is about reconciling new medical practice in Imperial China during a time when the people had no knowledge of surgery or medicine. There is a lot of fear and mistrust for medical practices, but people are beginning to see how Koyou's strength's can help others. Koyou is beginning to confront how her power can turn against her if she doesn't use it wisely. Her bedside manner is developing, while the kingdom is beginning to develop trust in her practices.

「沙眼」ってなに？英語でも分からない。「Trachoma」って何？。。。今インターネットで探した。皆さん自分の目を大事にして。ゴミ入ったらすぐ洗ってください。沙眼はとてもきれいじゃない。。。。今晩悪夢見えそう。

次は「熱傷」って何？あー思ったことと一緒！ワイ！嬉しい！ちゃんと理解した！

このシリーズ読んでいると医学の知識が増える。
